Radiochromic Film

<p>This book provides a first authoritative text on radiochromic film covering the basic principles technology advances practical methods and applications. It focuses on practical uses of radiochromic film in radiation dosimetry for diagnostic x-rays brachytherapy radiosurgery external beam therapies (photon electron protons) stereotactic body radiotherapy intensity-modulated radiotherapy and other emerging radiation technologies. The expert authors address basic concepts advantages and the main applications including kilovoltage brachytherapy megavoltage electron beam proton beam skin dose <i>in vivo </i>dosimetry postal and clinical trial dosimetry. The final chapters discuss the state of the art in microbeam synchrotron radiation and ultraviolet radiation dosimetry.</p>
